Sure does--I was reminded of that as well. But they said it was made of steel, which I'm sure NO Beedrill could get into unless it used Hyper Beam or something...not to mention it'd be kinda heavy for Jesse and James to lift?

Funny, I thought Ash's voice sounded great for this episode. He sounded right on emotionally in several places. I've liked the new voice all season long, so maybe I'm a bit biased, but I still thought it was really good this time around.

I got to see it today(I dont want to say how as it's plain obvious) and i was pretty impressed by it. We get to see the Repel for the first time. It looks EXACTLY like a can of bug spray(hehe, bug spray, Beedrill!! LOL!!). Sceptile relearning his moves was great. I also thought it was interesting how Team Rocket attempted their box trick, but it didnt do too well. Spenser's voice was pretty good too. What you didnt hear before cant hurt ya(not counting it's counter-part version okay!).

Okay, big confusion. At what point does May's Eevee learn Shadow Ball? Somebody please tell me. Cause im sure ive seen almost all the episodes up till now.

Oh, and am i the only one who found that this had a distinct similarity to the episode "Numero Uno Articuno", not plotwise, but how they meet the frontier brain, then the next episode they battle 'em?

Otherwise, pretty good episode. 8/10

"But, it's been fun. I'll come back every so often, but for the most part, I won't post much."

Yeah I thought that this episode was quite a good one for the return of Sceptile (even though it never left). But yeah, it was quite the good episode with Sceptile using its moves to save Pikachu and having that second blade when using leafblade looks great! And when Sceptile used quick attack to speed up to Pikachu to save it was really cool. And the final moved use to save itself from getting crushed by the impact of it landing on the ground with bulletseed. Great!

Seems funny how his stage 3 evolution pokemon have problems but then they just get use to Ash and learn to co-oporate with him after he trys to earn there respect by standing up for them. 8/10

Good episode, you got to feel a bit sorry for Sceptile and losing it's power.
It was good that Sceptile got it's power back, I liked that scene when the Beedrill are about to attack and Pikachu's thunderbolt comes out of nowhere and zaps them.

Claims Amber Benson as Bishie

As of April 18th, 2015, I met, hugged, took a selfie and a video with Amber Benson. This signature stands to the days where I wished for it, and that dream became reality.

Hmm. I have such mixed feelings about this episode. On the bright side, Ash and friends finally arrived at the island where the Battle Palace is located and we saw Ash doing some more training for his match. May's Eevee also showed off it's Shadow Ball which was a stunning surprise. On the dark side though, Sceptile was having trouble using it's attacks. I found myself sort of secretly pleased though since Sceptile had always been so strong. How the mighty have fallen muhaha! No I'm just joking; it was quite sad that Sceptile had such trouble. This episode was centered around character development for Ash and Sceptile more than anything else though, and Ash's meeting with Spenser was eventful to say the least. Sceptile managed to get it's old moves back just in time for the next episode. A little too convenient but whatever. This gets a 7/10 for being all right but not all that great.

This episode was ok... It was great to see Sceptile eventually regain its attacks after being too heartbroken to use them for awhile. It was cool to see Eevee learn Shadow Ball, a very unexpected attack for an Eevee. There was definitely a lot of bonding time in this episode for Ash and Sceptile.
